Our 20th Annual Fur Ball, presented by Dominion Energy was a wonderful success for the homeless animals who rely on our Cinderella Fund to provide lifesaving veterinary treatment and rehabiliation. We are so grateful to our sponsors, guests and donors who helped to make the record breaking evening such a success. We cannot ever thank you enough for your wonderful genersity. Please check out some of the great images captures throughout the evening.

The Annual Richmond SPCA Fur Ball, presented by Dominion Energy, is Richmond's only black-tie event for people and their pets. The event has been voted Best Annual Benefit Gala by the readers of Style Weekly for seven years in a row and in 2017 won a "Hall of Fame" award after multiple consecutive years of winning and was voted by the readers of the Richmond Times-Dispatch as The Best Charity Event in 2017. Fur Ball was also chosen by the readers of Virginia Living Magazine as the Most Creative Charitable Event in Central Virginia in 2013, as one of the top three charity events in Central Virginia in 2014 and 2015 and the Best Annual Charity Event in Central Virginia in 2016 and 2017. The fun, spirited event is our largest fundraiser to support the Cinderella Fund, which pays for the cost of care and rehabilitation for sick, injured and neonatal homeless animals who come into our care each year.

Each November, the Fur Ball takes place at The Jefferson Hotel and includes a cocktail reception by The London Company, a seated dinner sponsored by Holiday Barn Pet Resorts, a live auction sponsored by BB&T, a silent auction sponsored by ColonialWebb, a parade of pets down the Grand Staircase sponsored by The Humane Society of the United States, a raffle sponsored by Virginia Asset Management and a special jewelry prize. Guests with pets along for the fun are invited to use our volunteer Pet Escort program sponsored by Altria.

Last year, the Richmond SPCA cared for 3,500 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in need of serious medical attention with Cinderella Fund resources, and delivered preventative medications and general medical care to about a total of 4,300 homeless pets awaiting adoption at the center.
